Youth!

Hi Ai Fans!
Every time I see this stamp called "Jean", it reminds me of my Grandma. In the Retirement home that she lived the ladies used to decorate their walkers depending on the season or holiday. They would all park their walkers to go into the dining room and then you could view all the different decorated masterpieces! It was a fun way to accept the fact that you needed a walker.

I coloured up Jean 2 different ways and used 2 different colour themes from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 collection.
I think the "Been There" sentiment goes perfectly with this funny stamp! 
Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20
Hair: N1, N3, N5
Top: R20, R21, R22/ white gel pen
Skirt: BG11, BG13
Walker: Silver Wink of Stella / YG05, YG07

Remember "When life gives you  lemons..... make lemonade"

Happy Stamping!
